In Memoriam - Further Victorian 'In Memoriam' Cards

Catherine Struthers, Died 7th Dec 1886

The interest shown in my previous blog of old In Memoriam cards has spurred me onto creating another further themed blog, this one is for cards up to 1899. I have also integrated any extant photographs of the deceased, being taken as close possible to their respective deaths. The verses are taken from the actual cards. There may be some overlap with my previous blog if I have now included photos of the deceased.

John Bell, Millburn Farm, Dalserf, Scotland :

"In Memory of John Bell, Who died at Millburn Farm,
Dalserf, on the 12th June, 1876, aged 79 years"
